License plate: Oldtimer (H) Application
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzClassic cars can be vehicles that were first registered 30 years ago (or earlier). It depends on the day of the first approval. Such vehicles, which are largely in their original condition and are well preserved, are automotive cultural assets.
Classic cars are not meant for everyday traffic. However, there are historic vehicles with which you can participate in road traffic without restriction. These vehicles have an "H" in the last digit in the license plate.
In addition, there is the red classic car license plate. This starts with "07". You can use it for several classic cars and for the following purposes:
- Arrivals and departures as well as participation in events that serve the presentation of vintage vehicles and the "care of the automotive cultural heritage"
- Testing, test drives and transfer drives with classic cars
- Trips for maintenance and repair of the classic car
Hint: Historic vehicles with the corresponding license plate are tax-deductible. They are subject to a flat-rate road tax.
If you want to drive into an environmental zone, please note the service "Exemption from the driving bans in environmental zones".
You or your representative must apply for the registration of your vehicle as a classic car at the competent registration authority. The same applies to re-registration, deregistration and re-admission.
Depending on the offer of your licensing authority, you can download a form or use an online service via the Internet.
The registration authority may require you to present the vehicle.
The registration authority assigns a license plate to your vehicle and attaches the stickers (general inspection and stamp sticker) there.
Tip: License plates are available from private providers, which you can usually find near the registration authorities.
District administrations and city administrations of the independent cities or, in some cases, of the large cities belonging to the district.
Requirements for the allocation of a classic car license plate are above all:
- first approval at least 30 years ago
- good, largely original condition of the vehicle
- Qualified appraisal proving the characteristics as a classic car
Additional requirements are:
- You must not have any arrears of fees and expenses from previous admission procedures.
In the case of arrears of more than 30 euros, the registration authority may not register your vehicle until you have paid them. If the price is less than 30 euros, the registration authority can decide whether or not to register the vehicle anyway. - You must not have a vehicle tax debt of five euros or more. Late payment penalties, interest and late payment penalties are also taken into account when calculating the amount.
- If you want someone to represent you in the registration of your vehicle, you must give them a written power of attorney. This must also include a declaration of consent for the licensing authority to inform the authorised person of any arrears of fees and expenses. Your representative must present the power of attorney and identify themselves.
